Time display top - additional functions Flopp

I was participates in search of a robust clock the lot and not doing everything badly. Therefore, one comes to the G-Shock series is not over. However, did not like me purely digital watches. Whereby the selection at the G-Shocks is then very limited. The GW-3000B-1AER looks but on the 1st look really good, and I also like always visually still very good. It was important for me, the water resistance of 20 ATM, the radio reception and solar function. These features meet the G-Shock also really top notch. When I took the clock from the can began the pointer to rotate once per se and were gearing up the current time.

The size of the manual has been so criticized even by other Rezesenten. But can be helped in a very simple manner by itself downloads the manual in PDF format on the Casio website. So can this be very big and nice on the computer screen display.

Now let's have unfortunately somewhat disappointed me about the additional functions.

Weekday display: This is located in the left auxiliary field, this one has to know that Monday is estimated at "0", on Wednesday, the pointer just stands in the middle with no label and Sunday is labeled with the number "9". Hmm. Sounds strange but is true.

World time function: The clock display another time zone occurs at right additional window. The distances between the numbered points 24, 6, 12 and 18 be always 6 hours. It's incredibly difficult to read a time of z., 16 clock, as this could be for 17 clock. The two intermediate strokes are not particularly helpful here. Hours strokes would have been better here.

Alarm function: To set an alarm you have the same problem as when reading the second time zone (Universal Time). I wanted to set 14:30 clock. The alarm rang but then at 15:30 because this was the time that was set. As I said, you have to look very closely and focused on what is stressful.
The alarm itself was also very disappointing. This will beep at a very high frequency sound that he is not perceived in a normal environment. At first I thought the clock was broken, but when I again hired a trial period and then the clock stopped me in the 10 sec. The "alarm tone" to my ear, I heard it. In a quiet room with no distractions you can hear the sound even without the clock having to hold to your ear. For me, this feature comes complete sinnfrei as an "alarm" should be so loud that you will also point out.

The stopwatch function: Again, this is an additional function to which I had really been looking forward. The second hand dashes the "Start" -Press also 30 sec. Cheerful 1/10 step on the dial, then he stops and it only moves the little hand in the right additional window. Then when I made my first stop and the stopwatch stopped, I did not know what time I am driven. It has still not been opened up to me where I can now read my minutes. The display in the right window is much too vague, lt. Manual should the second hand show the time, but somehow I did not understand. Here I have to test it again and stop the time with a separate clock to understand how time is displayed on the G-Shock.

All in all, remains a very stale aftertaste for additional functions. In my view, neither practical nor feasible. I like the clock visually still very good, the normal time can be very good and well read. The robustness and like the comfort is also given. The clock lights up in the dark very well and long.
For these points I have given the clock summary 3 stars.
